RESUMO

Inactivation by adding different phosphorus (P) adsorbents is one of the most frequently used methods for combating inland water eutrophication. The aim of this work was to assess the toxic effects of novel P adsorbents (magnetic particles, MPs) on the phytoplankton community. An outdoor microcosm experiment, containing lake water and surface sediment from a hypertrophic Mediterranean lake, was carried out following a factorial design (n = 5) with three different treatments: control (C), where no MPs were added; Treatment-Water (T-W) and Treatment-Sediment (T-S). In T-W and T-S treatments, MPs were added on the surface water layer and on the sediment, respectively, to obtain a final concentration of 1.4 g MP L-1. This concentration was based on both the sedimentary mobile P concentration of the study site and the maximum P adsorption capacity of the MPs, obtained from the literature. After 24 h of contact time, the MPs were removed using a magnetic rake. Physicochemical measurements and biological samples were taken after 24 h of exposure to the MPs and at different time points after such exposure (day 2, 7, 21, 35 and 70). Changes in phytoplankton community such as abundance (biovolume and Chla), species composition and taxonomic groups were assessed, as well as changes in the Shannon-Wiener diversity index. Additionally, the eutrophic metric Algae Group Index (AGI), one of the metrics proposed in the Water Framework Directive, was also calculated. Our results indicate that there is no strong evidence to infer that MPs caused an effect on the phytoplankton community, since no significant differences (GLM test; p > 0.05) were found between controls and treatments in any of the studied variables (phytoplankton taxonomic groups, AGI, Chla concentration, biovolume, diversity and community responses). Accordingly, MPs did not cause any toxic effects on the phytoplankton community of the lake, encouraging the use of MPs in a future whole-lake restoration strategy. However, if the final goal of the restoration plan is to combat nuisance cyanobacteria blooms, higher initial MPs doses or repeated MPs applications are required to achieve a reduction in P concentrations below biological thresholds in order to prevent algal blooms.

RESUMO

The tail of the reservoir is the unstable zone regarding water quality and phytoplankton community. Therefore, it is the crucial zone in aquatic ecosystem transitions. To understand the transition characteristics and driving mechanisms of water environment dynamics, high-frequency monitoring of the water environment and phytoplankton community in the tail of a deep and large reservoir, the Xin'anjiang Reservoir in southeast of China, was conducted using a water quality monitoring buoy and three-day interval water sampling during 18 months. Results show clear seasonal thermal and oxygen stratification in the river mouth of the reservoir. The nutrient and chlorophyll-a concentrations also show stratifying phenomena during the thermal stratification period. Heavy rain and inflow quickly consume the stratification. Nutrient concentrations were highly dynamic in the river mouth. The total phosphorus ranges from 0.011 mg·L-1 to 0.188 mg·L-1, and total nitrogen ranges from 0.75 mg·L-1 to 2.76 mg·L-1. Dissolved phosphorus comprised 56% of total phosphorus, and dissolved nitrogen occupied 88% of total nitrogen, respectively. Nutrient concentrations were influenced strongly by rainfall intensity and inflow rate. Total phosphorus and nitrogen concentrations were significantly related to the three-day accumulated rainfall. Nutrient concentrations in the flood season (March to June) were significantly higher than in the non-flood season (P<0.001). Seasonal phytoplankton proliferation also significantly influenced by total phosphorus concentration. The phytoplankton community changes significantly with seasons and flood events. Bacillariophytea was generally dominant throughout the year, with the predominant genus of Fragilaria spp., Cyclotella spp., Synedra spp., and Melosira spp. Cyanophyta biomass peaked in July, August, and September, with the dominant genus of Aphanizomenon spp., Microcystis spp., and Oscillatoria spp. Apart from the high temperature, storm inflow events also triggered Cyanophyta proliferation. The proliferation of Chlorophyta was similar to Cyanophyta, with the predominant genus of Pediastrum spp. and Closterium spp.. While the Cryptophyta biomass peaked during March to May, with the predominant genus of Cryptomonas spp.. Redundancy analysis shows that the influence factors of phytoplankton community dynamics include the inflow rate, temperature, water level, water transparency, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and nitrogen to phosphorus ratio. The meteorological and hydrological factors were major factors for phytoplankton dynamics during later autumn and winter, while the nutrient will be the co-driving factors of phytoplankton community dynamics during summer and early autumn. The research confirmed the huge influence of the intensity rainfall event on the water environment in reservoirs and described the key environmental conditions for phytoplankton community dynamics. The research is useful for the design of the monitoring and forecasting system for water safety in drinking water source reservoirs.

RESUMO

Yilong Lake, a shallow, plateau lake, is the ninth largest water body in the Yunnan Province, China. In order to figure out the characteristics of phytoplankton communities in different regions of this lake, the phytoplankton and environmental factors in the west region, east region, and in a submerged macrophytes restoration demonstration region were monthly investigated and analyzed from August 2013 to July 2014. The results showed that the habitats in different regions were spatially heterogeneous. Total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), ammonia nitrogen (NH4+-N), five-day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5), transparency (SD), turbidity (Turb.), and electrical conductivity (EC) had no significant differences between the demonstration region and the west region, but these two regions showed significant differences in comparison with the east region (P<0.05). The largest phytoplankton density was Cyanophyta and the dominant species in the three regions were different. Mersmopedia tenuissima had the highest dominance in the west region; Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii and Pseudanabaena limntica were the most dominant taxa in the east region; while Merismopedia tenuissima and Anabaenopsis sp. were dominant in the O. uminata restoration demonstration region. PCoA compared the ß diversity of phytoplankton communities in the three different regions based on the entire year investigations. It was found that the community structures of the west region and O. uminata restoration demonstration region were similar (P>0.05), but they were significantly different from the community from the east region (P<0.01). Redundant analysis (RDA) showed that TN, TP, BOD5, and SD were the main environmental factors affecting the distribution of phytoplankton community in Yilong Lake. In addition, NH4+-N, EC, permanganate index, and pH also have a certain effect on the phytoplankton community.

RESUMO

Although stratification in deep lakes is well-discussed, few studies pay attention to thermal structure as well as its influences on stratification of biochemical parameters in subtropical lakes in mountainous cities. Here, we studied the depth profile of temperature and biochemical parameters in Longjing Lake, a subtropical reservoir in a mountainous city. Thermal stratification became strong during summer. Biochemical parameters were strongly associated with thermal structure. Stratification started at 2~6 m depth with a substantial decrease in dissolved oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5), chlorophyll a, and pH, corresponding to an increase in total nitrogen, ammonium (), nitrite (), total inorganic nitrogen (TIN), total phosphorus, and soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) with depth; the majority of biochemical parameters showed slight variations from 12 m downward. Our results indicated the stratification of Longjing Lake was stronger and more stable than the stratification of tropical and temperate lakes in lowland cities.

RESUMO

Variation in ocean C:N:P of particulate organic matter (POM) has led to competing hypotheses for the underlying drivers. Each hypothesis predicts C:N:P equally well due to regional co-variance in environmental conditions and biodiversity. The Indian Ocean offers a unique positive temperature and nutrient supply relationship to test these hypotheses. Here we show how elemental concentrations and ratios vary over daily and regional scales. POM concentrations were lowest in the southern gyre, elevated across the equator, and peaked in the Bay of Bengal. Elemental ratios were highest in the gyre, but approached Redfield proportions northwards. As Prochlorococcus dominated the phytoplankton community, biodiversity changes could not explain the elemental variation. Instead, our data supports the nutrient supply hypothesis. Finally, gyre dissolved iron concentrations suggest extensive iron stress, leading to depressed ratios compared to other gyres. We propose a model whereby differences in iron supply and N2-fixation influence C:N:P levels across ocean gyres.

RESUMO

Cyanobacterial blooms are characterized by intense growth of one or few species that will dominate the phytoplankton community for periods of few months to an entire year or more. However, even during persistent blooms, important seasonal changes among dominant species can be observed. Pampulha reservoir is a tropical eutrophic reservoir presenting permanent blooms. To identify the main species in this environment, a closer analysis performed by microscopy and 16S-rRNA DGGE revealed Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii as highly dominant throughout the year. The second most abundant group comprised species belonging to the Microcystis genus. They followed a well-defined seasonal pattern described by interesting species-specific ecological trends. During thermal stratification in the rainy/warmer season, C. raciborskii dominated in the water column, while Microcystis spp. were abundant at the end of the dry season, a period characterized by higher total phosphorus concentrations. Phylogenetic analyses confirmed the two dominant taxa and their seasonal trends. The results showed that cyanobacteria major controlling factors were strongly species dependent, shifting from physical/climate related (stratification) to more chemical driven (nutrients/eutrophication). Identifying these drivers is therefore essential for the understanding of the bloom dynamics and the real risks associated with each species, and to eventually adopt the most appropriate and effective management strategies.

RESUMO

Dianshan Lake, a subtropical shallow lake, is one of the main drinking water sources of Shanghai City. In order to explore the characteristics of phytoplankton functional groups (PFGs) and their relationships with environmental factors in Dianshan Lake, phytoplankton and water samples collected from January 2015 to December 2016 were characterized. Results suggested that there were 26 PFGs during our study period. The biomasses of 15 PFGs (B, C, D, F, G, H1, J, Lo, M, MP, P, W1, W2, X1, and X2) were dominant and had marked annual succession patterns: D/C Lo/C/MP MP/J/P/W1 P in 2015 and P W2/Lo W2/G/M/H1 P in 2016. To elucidate the relationships of PFGs with the environmental factors, canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) was conducted. Results showed that water level fluctuation (WLF), dissolved oxygen (DO), water temperature (WT), total phosphorus (TP), electrical conductivity (EC), transparency (SD), and total nitrogen (TN) were the main impact factors associated with the composition variations of PFGs in Dianshan Lake. From this study, it is proposed that the effects of nitrogen, phosphorus, and WLF on the PFGs in Dianshan Lake should be paid more attention.

RESUMO

Despite numerous laboratory studies on physiologies of harmful algal bloom (HAB) species, physiologies of these algae during a natural bloom are understudied. Here, we investigated a bloom of the raphidophyte Heterosigma akashiwo in the East China Sea in 2014 using metabarcode (18S rDNA) and metatranscriptome sequencing. Based on 18S rDNA analyses, the phytoplankton community shifted from high diversity in the pre-bloom stage to H. akashiwo predominance during the bloom. A sharp decrease in ambient dissolved inorganic phosphate and strong up-regulation of phosphate and dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP) uptake genes, including the rarely documented (ppGpp)ase, in H. akashiwo from pre-bloom to bloom was indicative of rapid phosphorus uptake and efficient utilization of DOP that might be a driver of the H. akashiwo bloom. Furthermore, observed up-regulated expression of mixotrophy-related genes suggests potential contribution of mixotrophy to the bloom. Accelerating photosynthetic carbon fixation was also implied by the up-regulation of carbonic anhydrase genes during the bloom. Notably, we also observed a strong morning-to-afternoon shift in the expression of many genes. Our findings provide insights into metabolic processes likely important for H. akashiwo bloom formation, and suggest the need to consider timing of sampling in field studies on this alga.

RESUMO

Water pollution has been a significant issue in the Huai River Basin (HRB) of China since the late 1970s. In July and December 2013, two field investigations were carried out at 10 sites along the main streams of the basin. The monitoring indices contained both physicochemical variables and the structure and composition of phytoplankton communities. The correlations between communities and physicochemical variables were analyzed using cluster analysis and redundancy analysis. Moreover, water quality was evaluated using the comprehensive nutrition state index (TLI) and Shannon-Wiener diversity index (H). Results indicated that more phytoplankton species were present in December than in July, but total density was less in December. Phytoplankton communities in the midstream of the Shaying River were affected by the same physicochemical factors throughout the year, but ammonia nitrogen and total phosphorus had the greatest influence on these sites in July and December, respectively. The water pollution status of the sampling sites was much greater in the Shaying River midstream than at other sites. TLI was more suitable than H for assessing water quality in the study area. These results provide valuable information for policy makers and stakeholders in water quality assessment, water ecosystem restoration, and sustainable basin management in the HRB.

RESUMO

During 2015, we studied the temporal patterns of nutrient concentrations and turbidity in water bodies with different degrees of agricultural and urban pressures across Guangzhou and Foshan (China). Data and observations were made by trained citizen scientists and professional researchers. Our study shows that all monitored water bodies, with the exception of Qiandeng Lake and Fengjiang River, had elevated NO3--N concentrations, which ranged from 0.10 to 6.83mg/L and peaked in late winter and early spring and reached a minimum in summer and mid-autumn. PO43-P concentrations ranged from 0.01 to 0.25mg/L and peaked during the winter, late-summer and late autumn. Turbidity values were highest at sites with agricultural activities, with maximums in the late winter and autumn, and the highest frequency (16% and 25%) of algae presence occurred in the spring and autumn. To better understand the characteristics and drivers of the algae occurrences, measurements of phytoplankton composition and physicochemical characteristics were conducted in three key seasons in the agricultural process, fallow, sowing and rainy season in 2016. Our focused study found that the occurrence of Bacillariophyta, Euglenophyta, Xanthophyta, Cryptophyta, Chrysophyta were positively correlated with dissolved oxygen and phosphorus concentrations, while Chlorophyta and Cyanophyta had positive correlations with turbidity, oxygen demand and nitrogen concentrations. Bacillariophyceae counted for the highest proportion of phytoplankton during the fallow season, comprising up to 60+% of the phytoplankton among the sites. During the rainy season, Chlorophyceae species were the majority, comprising up to 90+% of phytoplankton among the sampled sites. Our results pointed to the complexity of nutrient and phytoplankton dynamics in water bodies under multiple pressures, and to the value of using citizen scientists to determine contextual information to benefit more focused studies.

RESUMO

The high lipid diversity of microalgae has been used to taxonomically differentiate phytoplankton taxa at the class level. However, important lipids such as phospholipids (PL) and betaine lipids (BL) with potential chemotaxonomy application in phytoplankton ecology have been scarcely studied. The chemotaxonomy value of PL and BL depends on their intraspecific extent of variation as microalgae respond to external changing factors. To determine such effects, lipid class changes occurring at different growth stages in 15 microalgae from ten different classes were analyzed. BL occurred in 14 species and were the less affected lipids by growth stage with diacylglyceryl-hydroxymethyl-N,N,N-trimethyl-b-alanine (DGTA) showing the highest stability. PL were more influenced by growth stage with phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylglycerol (PG), and phosphatidyletanolamine (PE) declining towards older culture stages in some species. Glycolipids were the more common lipids, and no evident age-related variability pattern could be associated to taxonomic diversity. Selecting BL and PL as descriptor variables optimally distinguished microalgae taxonomic variability at all growth stages. Principal coordinate analysis arranged species through a main tendency from diacylglyceryl-hydroxymethyl-N,N,N-trimethyl-b-alanine (DGCC) containing species (mainly dinoflagellates and haptophytes) to DGTA or PC containing species (mainly cryptophytes). Two diatom classes with similar fatty acid profiles could be distinguished from their respective content in DGTA (Bacillariophyceae) or DGCC (Mediophyceae). In green lineage classes (Trebouxiophyceae, Porphyridophyceae, and Chlorodendrophyceae), PC was a better descriptor than BL. BL and PL explained a higher proportion of microalgae taxonomic variation than did fatty acids and played a complementary role as lipid markers.

RESUMO

To explore the linkage of phosphorus (P), nitrogen (N) and phytoplankton during the summer and winter in the inflow rivers of the Taihu Basin, China, 51 main rivers were investigated in 2013 and 2014. The results showed that high P and N input deteriorated the water quality, and P primarily limited Chlorophyll a concentrations. Diatoms, green algae, and cyanobacteria were the dominant phyla, totaling 29 and 41 species in summer and winter, respectively. Total P negatively affected the phytoplankton diversity during summer and had a stronger positive relationship with richness than total N during winter. The P level restricted the biomass of dominant algae, and turbidity had a greater interaction with cyanobacteria. This study suggests that P drives the phytoplankton assemblages under N-rich environments in the inflow rivers during summer and winter, indicating the need for nutrient reduction and further monitoring of the rivers to improve the water ecology.

RESUMO

In aquatic ecosystems, the identification of ecological thresholds may be useful for managers as it can help to diagnose ecosystem health and to identify key levers to enable the success of preservation and restoration measures. A recent statistical method, gradient forest, based on random forests, was used to detect thresholds of phytoplankton community change in lakes along different environmental gradients. It performs exploratory analyses of multivariate biological and environmental data to estimate the location and importance of community thresholds along gradients. The method was applied to a data set of 224 French lakes which were characterized by 29 environmental variables and the mean abundances of 196 phytoplankton species. Results showed the high importance of geographic variables for the prediction of species abundances at the scale of the study. A second analysis was performed on a subset of lakes defined by geographic thresholds and presenting a higher biological homogeneity. Community thresholds were identified for the most important physico-chemical variables including water transparency, total phosphorus, ammonia, nitrates, and dissolved organic carbon. Gradient forest appeared as a powerful method at a first exploratory step, to detect ecological thresholds at large spatial scale. The thresholds that were identified here must be reinforced by the separate analysis of other aquatic communities and may be used then to set protective environmental standards after consideration of natural variability among lakes.

RESUMO

Bacterioplankton communities in a semi-closed bay (Jangmok Bay, South Korea) were analysed using a 16S rDNA multiplex 454 pyrosequencing approach. Diversity and operational taxonomic units of bacterioplankton communities in the Jangmok Bay are highest in cold water seasons and lowest in warm water ones. During cold seasons, α-proteobacteria respond rapidly to pulses of the concentration of inorganic nutrients, while γ-proteobacteria during warm water seasons are the most active type of bacterioplankton resent in the prevailing conditions, which include high dissolved organic carbon, chemical oxygen demand and primary production. Cyanobacteria, a minor group constituting 4.58% of the total bacterioplankton, are more abundant at low temperature. Flavobacteria are more abundant in nutrient-rich conditions and the abundance of this group also demonstrated a delayed decline following summer phytoplankton blooms. The pronounced seasonal oscillations in phosphorus concentration and temperature exert strong selection pressure on bacterioplankton communities.

RESUMO

In order to explore the spatial-temporal dynamics of phytoplankton assemblages and its influencing factors in Tangpu Reservoir, phytoplankton and environmental variables were monthly monitored in 2011. The results showed that a total of 115 species of phytoplankton were identified, which belonged to 7 phyla and 62 genera. Phytoplankton abundance varied monthly with the maximum value (20.88×106 cells·L-1) in April and minimum (0.59×106 cells·L-1) in June. Variation partitioning of species data matrix showed that the variation of phytoplankton communities among months (account for 72.3%) was much larger than that among sampling sites (account for 2.5%), which indicated that phytoplankton communities had a high temporal but low spatial heterogeneity. Dominant species showed a marked seasonal succession pattern: diatom and blue-green algae species in spring, blue-green algae and green algae species in summer, diatom and cryptomonads species in autumn and winter. Result of multivariate analysis (RDA) indicated that HRT was the key factor affecting the shift between hydrological disturbance sensitive and tolerant species, and the formation of spring algal bloom; SiO2, WT and N:P were the key factors affecting the shift from diatom and cryptomonads species to blue-green algae and green algae species.

RESUMO

The phytoplankton community in Hanfeng Lake Reservoir, located in the Three Gorges Reservoir Areas of Yangtze River, was investigated from Jun to August 2013. The results showed that 72 species belonging to 7 phyla of phytoplankton were detected in the water. The dominant species were Synedra, Navicula, Melosira, Cocconeis, Scenedesmus, Pseudoanabaena and Merismopedia. The phytoplankton at the entrance of Donghe River was mainly composed of Bacillariophyta, while that at the entrance of Nanhe River was dominated by Cyanophyta and Chlorophyta. Canonical correspondence analysis was applied to investigate the relationships between the distribution of phytoplankton and the environmental factors. The results showed that the species of phytoplankton at the entrance of the Donghe River were influenced by the physiochemical properties of the water, while those at the entrance of Nanhe River were affected by the nutrient status of the water. The key factors influencing the distributions of phytoplankton were temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), pH, total nitrogen (TN), dissolved nitrogen (DN) and dissolved phosphorus (DP).

RESUMO

To study the distribution of phytoplankton and water quality of Beijiang River, the community structure of phytoplankton was investigated and analyzed in wet and dry seasons. The results showed that a total of 74 species belonging to six phyla, 29 family and 48 genera of phytoplankton were identified, including 58 species of five phyla, 23 family and 41 genera in wet season and 59 species of six phyla, 26 family and 40 genera in dry season. Phytoplankton community structure in Beijiang River was represented by Bacillariophyta, Chlorophyta and Cyanophyta. Bacillariophyta dominanted the phytoplankton, and the dominant species were Aulacoseira granulate, Fragilaria virescens, Surirella biseriata, Nitzschia amphibia, Navicula simplex, Cyclotella meneghiniana, Synedra ulna, Gomphonema angustatum and Cymbella tumida. There was little difference in phytoplankton density between both seasons with the mean values being 3.54 x 10(5) and 4.87 x 10(5) cells L(-1) in dry and wet seasons, respectively. Based on the RDA results, DO, permanganate index, nitrogen and phosphorus were the important environmental factors affecting the distribution of phytoplankton in Beijiang River. The water quality of Beijiang River was classified as oligo-mesotrophic level even if this river was subjected to nitrogen and phosphorus pollution mainly from agricultural non-point source.

RESUMO

Elucidating the biodiversity of CO(2)-assimilating bacterial and algal communities in soils is important for obtaining a mechanistic view of terrestrial carbon sinks operating at global scales. "Red" acidic soils (Orthic Acrisols) cover large geographic areas and are subject to a range of management practices, which may alter the balance between carbon dioxide production and assimilation through changes in microbial CO(2)-assimilating populations. Here, we determined the abundance and diversity of CO(2)-assimilating bacteria and algae in acidic soils using quantitative PCR and terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) of the cbbL gene, which encodes the key CO(2) assimilation enzyme (ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase) in the Calvin cycle. Within the framework of a long-term experiment (Taoyuan Agro-ecosystem, subtropical China), paddy rice fields were converted in 1995 to four alternative land management regimes: natural forest (NF), paddy rice (PR), maize crops (CL), and tea plantations (TP). In 2012 (17 years after land use transformation), we collected and analyzed the soils from fields under the original and converted land management regimes. Our results indicated that fields under the PR soil management system harbored the greatest abundance of cbbL copies (4.33 × 10(8) copies g(-1) soil). More than a decade after converting PR soils to natural, rotation, and perennial management systems, a decline in both the diversity and abundance of cbbL-harboring bacteria and algae was recorded. The lowest abundance of bacteria (0.98 × 10(8) copies g(-1) soil) and algae (0.23 × 10(6) copies g(-1) soil) was observed for TP soils. When converting PR soil management to alternative management systems (i.e., NF, CL, and TP), soil edaphic factors (soil organic carbon and total nitrogen content) were the major determinants of bacterial autotrophic cbbL gene diversity. In contrast, soil phosphorus concentration was the major regulator of algal cbbL community composition. Our results provide new insights into the diversity, abundance, and modulation of organisms responsible for microbial autotrophic CO(2) fixation in red acidic soils subjected to changing management regimes.

RESUMO

In this paper we present the effects of environmental factors and zooplankton food pressure on phytoplankton in the restored man-made Maltanski Reservoir (MR). Two methods of restoration: biomanipulation and phosphorus inactivation have been applied in the reservoir. Nine taxonomical groups of phytoplankton represented in total by 183 taxa were stated there. The richest groups in respect of taxa number were green algae, cyanobacteria and diatoms. The diatoms, cryptophytes, chrysophytes, cyanobacteria, green algae and euglenophytes dominated in terms of abundance and/or biomass. There were significant changes among environmental parameters resulting from restoration measures which influenced the phytoplankton populations in the reservoir. These measures led to a decrease of phosphorus concentration due to its chemical inactivation and enhanced zooplankton grazing as a result of planktivorous fish stocking. The aim of the study is to analyse the reaction of phytoplankton to the restoration measures and, most importantly, to determine the extent to which the qualitative and quantitative composition of phytoplankton depends on variables changing under the influence of restoration in comparison with other environmental variables. We stated that application of restoration methods did cause significant changes in phytoplankton community structure. The abundance of most phytoplankton taxa was negatively correlated with large zooplankton filter feeders, and positively with zooplankton predators and concentrations of ammonium nitrogen and partly of phosphates. However, restoration was insufficient in the case of decreasing phytoplankton abundance. The effects of restoration treatments were of less importance for the abundance of phytoplankton than parameters that were independent of the restoration. This was due to the continuous inflow of large loads of nutrients from the area of the river catchment.

RESUMO

Phytoplankton diversity and abundance in estuarine systems are controlled by many factors. Salinity, turbidity, and inorganic nutrient concentrations and their respective ratios have all been proposed as principal factors that structure phytoplankton diversity and influence the emergence of potentially toxic species. Although much work has been conducted on temperate estuaries, less is known about how phytoplankton diversity is controlled in tropical, monsoonal systems that are subject to large, seasonal shifts in hydrology and to rapidly changing land use. Here, we present the results of an investigation into the factors controlling phytoplankton species composition and distribution in a tropical, monsoonal estuary (Bach Dang estuary, North Vietnam). A total of 245 taxa, 89 genera from six algal divisions were observed. Bacillariophyceae were the most diverse group contributing to 51.4 % of the microalgal assemblage, followed by Dinophyceae (29.8 %), Chlorophyceae (10.2 %), Cyanophyceae (3.7 %), Euglenophyceae (3.7 %) and Dictyochophyceae (1.2 %). The phytoplankton community was structured by inorganic nutrient ratios (DSi:DIP and DIN:DIP) as well as by salinity and turbidity. Evidence of a decrease in phytoplankton diversity concomitant with an increase in abundance and dominance of certain species (e.g., Skeletonema costatum) and the appearance of some potentially toxic species over the last two decades was also found. These changes in phytoplankton diversity are probably due to a combination of land use change resulting in changes in nutrient ratios and concentrations and global change as both rainfall and temperature have increased over the last two decades. It is therefore probable in the future that phytoplankton diversity will continue to change, potentially favoring the emergence of toxic species in this system.
